Hamburg, Iowa
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Hamburg faces a high environmental hazard score of 7.4. The Sidney Sinclair Superfund site is located only 3.4 miles away and contains unspecified hazardous substances. Living near an active hazardous waste site means chemicals could potentially enter the local soil or water. You should be careful about playing in undeveloped areas or using well water that has not been tested. These pollutants are often invisible but can affect your long-term health if you are exposed to them frequently over time.
